The sun began to rise as it immediately shined down on Camille's smooth burnt caramel face and her close lids causing her to stretch her arms across her California king and arch her back. That was one of the best sleeps she's had since getting home from the hospital with the girls. Leaving the club earlier than usual Thursday night, Camille was able to sleep her night away and into the morning as well. Tossing the covers aside, Camille climbed out of the bed stretching one more time then grabbed her phone off of the charger and immediately called up Erica. Waiting for the phone to ring, Camille grabbed herself a gray Nike sweat suit and her all white Air Forces then some undergarments to wear as well. "Cami I'm going to beat your ass, if you're coming over just come. How do I look making you call before you get here as if your children isn't here?!" Erica yelled jokingly causing Camille to laugh. "I know but I know how you are with just popping up at your place. But I should be there to drop off their things and spend some time with them." Camille smiled leaving out of her bedroom and over to the girls bedroom. Keeping her and Joshua's business out of everyone else's, Camille came up with a lie saying that Joshua wanted her to try out the new clubs that resided in Philadelphia and learn a couple of new tricks to teach the girls and being that Camille and Isabelle used to really do that favor for him, both Itali and Erica believed her. "Okay, take your time. You don't like sharing my babies when you're here." Erica joked loving and also hating how Camille completely took over when she came over to visit the girls. "I'll share this time." Camille laughed before they ended their call with goodbyes. Camille grabbed the girls more clothes, pampers, wipes, socks and headbands, something Erica loves to do was brush their hair. Placing their baby bag by the nightstand, Camille went and got ready for the day but before she could leave out the door, Joshua was calling her phone. "Yeah J?" She asked shutting off the lights inside of her house then stepped out and made sure to lock the door. "You should be over here by four. Is that cool?" Joshua question. Today wasn't going to be as bad being that Camille was only going to collect the month worth money made. Nothing too risky yet being that neither plug knew of Camille's face anymore and Joshua didn't want to put her life at risk for being a fresh face. "Yeah, but I'm about to start driving." Camille replied before ending their call and hopped inside of her car then pulled off. Driving through the city, Camille smiled as she exhaled and watched as she passed the buildings until she reached Erica's brownstone. She parked the car before grabbing the girls bag and climbing out of the car. Making her way over to Erica's front door, Camille knocked and waited for her to answer the door. "Look who's here girls." Erica cooed as she held both girls in her arms and it's like they understood her because they started to smile and reach out for their mother. "Hi mommy's babies, I missed you girls so much! I can't wait until Monday already!" Camille easily wept while grabbing up her girls and kissed their cheeks. She made sure to have her schedule clear for both Monday and Tuesday, just so she could spend time with her girls. "I miss waking up to ya and falling asleep to you girls as well." Camille continued to cry as she rocked her girls back and forth holding onto them for dear life. Erica smiled as she wiped her own tears, she felt Camille's pain and knew exactly what she was going through. Although some single mother's don't struggle as much, but there were tons of single mothers going through the same thing Camille is going through and Erica was definitely one of them. The only difference between Camille and Erica was Erica had family to hold her girls down without charging her. Erica wasn't willing to charge Camille after Camille done cried and told her everything Antonio had put her through, but Camille knew that things in life weren't free and sooner than later Erica would have her hand out. So to keep the peace, Camille paid Erica three hundred dollars every week. "They know Cami, they know you're working for them." Erica sniffle and gave Camille a pat on the back. "You're doing one hell of a job, these babies barely cry and when they do that's only because they want some more of that breast milk. Do you think about adding cereal to their bottles? I mean you don't have to, but you know? It's just so the milk could last longer." Erica asked as they took a seat onto Erica's couch. Summer and Savannah were at summer camp, so it was just Erica and the twins inside of her house. "I'll have to speak with their doctor because that lady swear that she's their mother and always telling me what the hell to do with my girls." Camille smirked and shook her head. Dr. Chambers was always on top of Camille when it came to the girls and even caught herself buying them little teething toys swearing that they were going to teeth at a such early month. But there was still no sign of teeth and the girls were still gentle on Camille's breast as well. "Okay, See what she says because they be double teaming my ass and then here come mother S and S, 'mommy what are you doing?! And why are they crying?!" Erica mimicked her daughters causing Camille to laugh uncontrollably bringing huge smiles to Nayeli's and Noelle's faces. Camille smiled then pecked their cheeks. "I always forget about those dimples." She commented causing Erica to chuckle and shake her head. "Speaking of the deep dimple devil. Have he been trying to get in contact with you?" Erica asked and Camille shrugged, honestly. I blocked the whole entire Jones existence, yes Mrs. Jones included. That bitch never checked for my kids anyways, so it was like what's to keep you around for? Just those ignorant ass comments that you constantly wrote whenever I wrote about them?" Camille shrugged growing annoyed. She hated to even think about them. "Right you're a waste of a grandmother bitch and besides you didn't want that lady to help you raise them anyways. They're perfectly fine where they're at." Erica shrugged standing to her feet as she walked over to her kitchen. So Camille focused back on her girls kissing all over them and talking to them as well. "Are you hungry Cami? I made me some Cajun chicken Alfredo." Erica offered as she made herself a bowl, she was going to wait until the girls had fallen asleep. But lucky for her, here came Camille just in time. "Starving. I didn't even eat anything since I woken up, I wanted to get over to my girls as fast as possible." Camille sang bringing those same cheerful smiles to her girls. She smuggled with them kisses receiving laughs from both girls, not believing her ears Camille gasped. "Did you hear that E?! They're laughing!" Camille cried out in joy, but the tears weren't there yet. Tickling the girls with her lips into their chubby necks, both girls laugh in sync bringing a huge smile to Camille's face. "I love ya! Mommy really do love ya and I hope you girls stay this bright and happy." She cooed while staring down at the laughing babies. Here came Erica with their plates and two bottles of water in her hands. "Here you go crazy mom." She said, so Camille placed the girls into their chairs before stuffing her face with her food. "Damn Cami, slow down before you choke! You're eating faster than Savannah when Raven's Home comes on!" Erica laughed, but Camille wasn't joking when she said she hadn't eaten. That's how much she wanted to be around her girls and smell their baby smells. It's like the sight and scent of her girls kept Camille at peace, they were her old weed and alcohol habits. She needed it or her day would go completely bad. "I'm hungry and going to need for you to pack me another plate before I get up out of here." Camille spoke with a mouth full of food making Erica mean mug her as if she was one of her children, that's all they ever done. Especially Summer, she would rather choke than to chew her food without having to talk. "You're just like Summer and Savannah mouth wide open asses." Erica said making Camille laugh and shrug. "Those been my babies. Oh my god I remember putting Vannah to sleep while Summer sung Frozen as if her heart was broken. Itali and I could've sworn up and down those were our children." Camille laughed thinking of how they constantly watched the girls when they were younger. "Itali still do, she's taking them for the weekend." Erica said and Camille nodded her head, but deep down felt sad about not having anyone to help her except them two. She loved Amber and Tori crazy asses unconditionally, but they were too wild and too careless to watch her babies without her supervision. So all Camille really had was Erica and Itali, thankfully though.
